If you are a CFA candidate or life-long learner, this episode is for you. Our guest today is Scott Young, who garnered notoriety when he completed MIT's four year computer science program in just 12 months without taking classes, and later wrote the book Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career.

To say Scott has become an expert on self-directed learning is an understatement, and in this episode he shares the lessons he's learned that directly apply to you while studying for the CFA exam. He also explains common pitfalls people make while studying.

Our local co-host today is Steve Curley, CIO of WaterOak Advisors and current President of the CFA Society of Orlando. Please enjoy the episode.
